2023 Software Engineering Internship - Data Engineer

Job Title: Software Engineering Intern - Summer 2023

Reporting to: Engineering Manager, Attribution

Censys knows the internet and cloud better than anyone else. Attack Surface Management provides customers with an attacker-centric view of all externally facing internet and cloud to extend visibility, prioritize, and remediate the most critical risk exposures that will actually lead to a breach. Our daily IPv4 scans and the world’s largest SSL/TLS Certificate database enables customers with the most accurate and continuously updated attack surfaces. Enterprise security teams leverage Censys to keep pace with the speed of the business and gain an advantage on the rapidly evolving cyber-attack threats.

We are a rapidly growing cyber security startup based in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a 100% fully remote team. Our innovation is fueled by the team’s global perspectives and diverse backgrounds. We welcome healthy debate, constructive conversations, and outside-the-box thinking to ensure we are moving fast, learning things, and iterating quickly. 

We’re excited to launch our 2023 Summer Internship search and are looking for our next Software Engineering Intern for the Summer of 2023! The estimated dates of this internship are Tuesday May 30th through August 16th, 2023. 

Are you an energetic individual with a “figure it out” attitude that is passionate about cybersecurity and comfortable in a fast-moving organization? As a Software Engineering Intern at Censys, you’ll be working on integral projects that will actually be implemented into our product or added to our product roadmap. We scan every single reachable device in the ipv4 address space once every 2-3 minutes (so between 1440-2880 times a day) - that’s over 4 billion devices! You'll be mentored by folks on our amazing engineering team and learn directly from several senior engineers. 

Here's a glimpse into some of the types of things you’ll work on this summer:

• Developing data and research practices that improve the quality and accuracy of our data
• Developing back-end systems in Python and Golang that power our ASM product
• Partnering with product teams to build and launch new features 
• Collaborating with highly talented engineers using Censys data to make the internet safer
• Designing automated solutions for building, testing, monitoring, and deploying applications in a continuous integration environment. 
• You'll work across teams (engineering, product, marketing, etc) to help deliver features and expose you to different career paths

Why you should apply:

• You’ll work on projects that have tangible impacts on our product and customer experience
• Mentorship opportunities with team members, leadership, and beyond
• Immersive early stage cybersecurity start-up experience
• We’re a people first culture with diversity and inclusion at the helm of our employee experience
• Competitive pay + remote or housing stipend (depending on status of program)
• Many of our interns return for several summers or join us full-time after graduation

Note on Remote: Our hope is that this position will be able to work in-person at our headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. However, we are open to remote work or a hybrid scenario for the right candidate, and will cover a portion of relocation costs as well as offer a monthly housing stipend for anyone non-local to Ann Arbor.

Our target hourly pay rate for this role is $30 / hour USD.

Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they feel they meet every qualification. At Censys we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace - so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every listed requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be exactly who we need to fill this role or others! 

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Censys is an equal opportunity employer.
